Blackrock House upgraded to utter elegance

The one-off, fully-furnished three-bed was one of two show apartments in Blackrock House, writes Tommy Barker.

THERE’S a coincidence of pricing, at €850,000, as the show apartment at the spectacular Blackrock House former convent conversion gets launched for sale, at the very heart of old Blackrock village in Cork harbour.

It’s the same price as the dearest of the 15 detacheds four-bedroomed homes that got launched, and snapped up, at the Botakina house scheme at the far, city end of the Blackrock Road two weeks ago.
